2027 Rec Center Fee Adjustments
Summary
The rec center's first fee overhaul in a few years bumps rentals, leagues, fitness classes, event tables, and certification classes. Small increases now are meant to avoid $15–20 jumps later, and 50/50 scholarships cover half of summer rec costs for families who need it.

Impact analysis
Modest per-user increases — e.g., rentals up $3, event tables up $5–10 — effective January 1, 2027.
Rec center users get predictable small increases instead of large jumps, and low-income families keep scholarship access.
Frequent users of rentals, leagues, and specialty classes will pay more starting in 2027.
